2.2 Upgrade...leaving the left overs for the kid

[JohnJohn]

Hello everyone,

I have been out for what seems like a few years, but it's really just about 10 months. Got a new job and thats been taking up a lot of time...along with the kids hockey, soccer, etc. I know no excuses.

I want to build my 9 year old a rig in the next few weeks. I have some parts lying around along with some parts I want to upgrade off my rig. Here's what I got.

S3 frame - brushed axiom motor on an R2 tranny - old Sooper Rooster - delrin links - wheel - tires - etc.

S2 frame(already cut and modded to except the motor/tranny set-up)

I am planning on giving him the S2 frame and my motor/tranny/ESC.

What motor/tranny/ESC should I upgrade to?

I hope to find some time to get to some Comps here in Colorado so the rigs will mostly be used for that.

Budget?

Cheap: Sidewinder and 55t w/3s lipo
Not cheap: Sidewinder/MM and HOlmes 7t Colbalt Puller w/3s lipo

The axial trans is nice, and cheap too. Check out the teken FX-R, and get a handwound motor, holmes has some, also check out JP custom RC's for the 35t warrior. Mort's advice is also good.

No Rooster Crawler? Budget is not a huge issue...

No. I personally won't even consider an ESC that won't take 3c lipo. If you're going to spend the money, go for the gold. Buy once, cry once is what I always say.
